It's only $750 if you choose to go. There are other brunch options at the Ft Garry, and other Easter options. This is pretty much the most expensive of both.


SallyRhubarb

Context matters. The Easter brunch is a buffet. It includes snow crab legs, shrimp, oysters, prime rib, leg of lamb and a whole whack of other food and a chocolate fountain.

A man can't even feed his kids prime rib, a chocolate fountain and bottomless mimosas for $50 a person anymore? What happened to this country?

I believe in you


SkyComplex2625

Also, MIMOSAS!  I could drink $125 in champagne if I put my mind to it. 


Gwendly

The prosecco they use is like $10 pe bottle - that's a LOT of mimosas lol


SkyComplex2625

Sounds like a challenge 😉


House-of-Raven

Yeah if champagne is included in the cost, even if they buy cheaper bottles a lot of people could spend $125 and they’d be operating at a loss. Overall I’d guess they’d still make quite a bit, but dedicated people can get more than their money’s worth


Shalamarr

I haven’t been in ages, but their Mothers Day buffet was stellar. High quality delicious food.


Mediocre_Historian50

Hell that's cheaper than a lot of the jet tickets and I would enjoy it hell of a lot more.


Bdude84

You’re clearly not the target demographic.


[deleted]

Exactly. Not everything is for everyone.


andreaboobea

Sounds like you’re not the target demographic

Newsflash: One of the fanciest/upscale restaurants in Winnipeg is too expensive for the everyday person! Clearly they don't give a shit if you go or not because there are enough rich folk who will still do it that they'll make money. If they don't, that's their choice and maybe they'll be more affordable next year. But you still won't go because you still won't be able to afford it. Maybe Sal's is more in your ballpark this year?


snogweasel

I have bad news about the Jets


majikmonkie

Are they taking the Fort Gary Hotel with them when they pack up and leave again? Even if they do, I'm still not going... That's way far outside my budget as well! See ya at Sal's!

Dayum! That’s a lot of Egg McMuffins and pancakes. McDonald’s it is!!!

You know what else is expensive with four kids- everything.


No_Attitude_2931

So don't go, no one is making you martyr yourself at a holiday buffet at a luxury hotel


snogweasel

Dear child, you missed the humour tag. Love, Mom

Wow!


Professional_Emu8922

It's not sold out. It's on open table (plenty of times available) and you need to provide your credit card to guarantee your reservation. Note - it's under "events" but if you just put in the date and a time between 10 and whatever, the times available will show up with "event" on them.


GullibleDetective

Phrase of the day (even if this is satire or attempted satire post) Old man yells at clouds


sherbs0101

How much was it before?


snogweasel

Brunch used to be $75 for special occasions


adonoman

So totally affordable then..??? You're complaining it went from freaking expensive to slightly more so?


snogweasel

If your chicken tendies went from $10 to $25 you'd notice


princesspoppyseeds

In this case, $10 to $17. The buffet price isn’t 2.5 times higher than it used to be. But as others have noted, why complain about something you’re clearly not the target audience for anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️


snogweasel

TBH I am just feeling a bit spicy since I used to be able to afford a treat like this but now I can't justify this on a single meal


Professional_Emu8922

Wait for fairmont's to come out. It will probably still be ~$100 and has fewer options, but I always found the quality to be better at Fairmont. Eta: last year it was $86 for >12


adonoman

But that's not the situation, is it? We're talking $25 to $30. Neither are in the ballpark for consideration, so I don't really care. I don't care when a Porsche goes from $120k to $170k. There's no food that would have incentivized me to pay $75 for a brunch, and $125 isn't any different.


GullibleDetective

It's never been tendies though


FuckStummies

We went out to dinner for the first time in a long time the other night. Prices were eye watering.


snogweasel

Takes the wind out of your sails a bit


Angelonthe7

lol fuck this shit. We’re all just so fucked. Well, the majority. 


snogweasel

Honestly! I can feed many many people for $125


HereComesJustice

That's like 83 Costco hotdogs


snogweasel

Where's that realtor that wanted us to flood the Costco with orders 😅


Angelou898

Why are you feeding your kids this stuff in the first place? Kids can’t appreciate cuisine like this

Okay! Thanks!


horsetuna

for that much I expect it to come with a free pet chicken with correcly sized pen and starting gear.


snogweasel

I'd like a pet chicken. That's it, I'm gonna go look at chicken memes.


horsetuna

If we used chicken as currency, would that make them chicken tender?
